Gonarthrosis and Coxarthrosis Treatment in Aden

In a joint, the ends of the bones are covered with cartilage, and in this condition it gradually wears. When it thins, the joint's cushioning goes, the bones rub together and pain, stiffness and crunching follow. The condition is degenerative, not inflammatory.

Often, yes — as long as treatment is not put off. SVF and PRP injections aim to relieve pain and support the cartilage with no operation. Joint replacement is the final option, for a joint that is already destroyed.

The first changes are often felt 2–3 weeks after the procedure, and a stable result forms over about six months, lasting several months to several years depending on the person. Osteoarthritis is chronic, which is why it needs an ongoing plan instead of one injection.

The early and moderate stages. As a rule, the milder the stage, the faster and longer the effect, and regular hyaluronic acid injections may be needed less. A lasting effect cannot be expected at the most advanced stage, when the joint space has almost vanished.

Heavily loaded joints — the knees, hips and ankles — together with the spine and small hand joints. All of them can be treated with regenerative treatment.

It tends to progress: pain becomes constant, movement more restricted, the joint may deform and walking may become hard. Early diagnosis, weight control, exercise and working with a doctor really make a difference.

Diagnosis relies mainly on an X-ray, which shows the stage. MRI adds a detailed view of the cartilage and soft tissues, ultrasound picks up inflammation and fluid in the joint, and blood tests help exclude inflammatory conditions. Any results you have can be reviewed by the doctor free of charge.

Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage: aching pain on movement, crunching, stiffness after rest. Arthritis is inflammation: pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. The approach to treatment differs, so the diagnosis comes first.

Yes. After you send X-rays, MRI or test results, a doctor reviews them free of charge, gauges the stage of osteoarthritis and proposes a non-surgical plan if it suits your case.

It is not only possible but advisable. Proper activity strengthens the muscles that unload the joint, improves cartilage nutrition and maintains your mobility. Swimming, water aerobics, cycling, Nordic walking and yoga are good choices; running on hard surfaces, jumps, heavy lifting and sudden movements are to be avoided.
